Danny Turkiewicz’s directorial debut, Stealing Pulp Fiction, is a quirky, comedy heist film that pays homage to Quentin Tarantino’s iconic 1994 film. The film follows three aspiring Hollywood friends who, along with their eccentric therapist, plot to steal Tarantino’s personal 35mm print of Pulp Fiction from his theater.

Starring in the movie are Jon Rudnitsky, Karan Soni, Cazzie David, Jason Alexander, Taylor Hill, and Oliver Cooper.

Stealing Pulp Fiction premiered at the 2024 Newport Beach Film Festival, and has since been showcased at the Fantasporto and Glasgow Film Festivals in 2025. The film is set for a limited theatrical and video-on-demand release on June 27, 2025.

Here is the synopsis: Stealing Pulp Fiction follows a group of enterprising wannabes and their eccentric therapist as they concoct a plot to steal Quentin Tarantino’s personal 35mm print of his famous 1994 film from his movie theater. What begins as a simple heist quickly spirals into a chaotic misadventure filled with unexpected twists and mishaps.

Critics have offered mixed reviews. Ethan Padgett from Film Threat praised the film, stating, “Stealing Pulp Fiction is a must-watch for fans of Quentin Tarantino as Turkiewicz references the famous filmmaker’s trademark techniques and incorporates references to Pulp Fiction throughout. I recommend this to all the cinephiles and comedy connoisseurs out there.” Conversely, Calum Cooper from In Their Own League criticized the film, writing, “Stealing Pulp Fiction is one of the worst comedies of recent memory; a film that may incentivize you into following its putrid characters’ lead and stealing the digital print to spare innocents from its awfulness.”
